[Histonet] New CAP question ANP.22760

[Mike Pence]

As I have found over the years the opinions and interpretation of CAP
intent is differing. Everyone has how they see the question and think it
to best be answered. I am not sure why it is not acceptable for the lab
to run a control on the new lot and make sure it works and that is the
QC/QA. The pathologist is the one that determines if the stain is
acceptable for diagnosis. Some of the suggestions would be very time
consuming and costly to do each new lot#.

I'm kind of getting in on the middle of this but is anybody else doing
this with prep kit stickers?  I have not seen the new question but has
anyone talked to CAP to get a clarification of what they mean on this
question?

You'll have to use prep kit stickers and duplicate protocols to do it,
but it is possible.  You just need to copy the protocol and save it as
another number, then change the primary antibody to a prep kit sticker
save again and then put that sticker on the dispenser.  Then you need to
print stickers for both protocols and stick them on two controls slides
and run.

I admit its a little bit of a pain.
